The Haunted

Chapter 160: Lucky viewer

Views:

The Strange Dressing Room will dress up the actors to match the setting of the character they play. Generally speaking, the appearance of this character will be 108,000 miles away from the reality of the actor, so it will not be recognized by people.

For example, Lengxin looks like a petite and lovely girl, but she is disguised as a arrogant and vicious demon lady in the dressing room, and her appearance is not half similar to herself; the actor of old George is a one meter nine tall circle The demon-faced youth was disguised as a stubborn, arrogant, square-faced middle-aged demon with a height of only 1.7 meters who was hundreds of years older.

But Ye Yingzhi's appearance did not change much. He was originally a noble and graceful gentleman. When he was not smiling, he was a little indifferent and difficult to approach. Sometimes when he smiled casually, he seemed gentle and indifferent. Especially when facing Chi Yan, his eyebrows and eyes softened, and he was so gentle. Looks very covert. In this show, the plastic hands of the dressing table only briefly sketched and smeared some of his face, wiping out his deceptive appearance, without much modification, and he can still see his true appearance, but he and Chi The feasts were all newcomers, and no one knew them, so it wasn't a big problem.

At this time, the actor of Yuris was sitting on the edge of the prop fountain, spit on the unreliable plot of "Demon Comes" in his heart. How much hindsight, slow response and lack of interest are Yuris in the story. Common sense, talent has never discovered the identity of the hell monarch, but instead regards the other party as a poor ordinary demon whose power has faded.

How can the imposing manner of the upper demon, especially the great demon, one of the rulers of hell, be the same as that of ordinary demons? Even if Aidyas hides his demonic characteristics - horns and bone wings, his temperament and coercion are not comparable to ordinary demons. of.

For example, the actor who played Edyas beside him, even if he has restrained all his coercion according to the rules of the game, even if he is now disguised as a human according to the script, he has not shown his bone wings and double horns. I can't mistake it, the other party must be a high-ranking demon from hell, maybe from a traditional and powerful demon noble family, because the high-ranking devil temperament on the other party is too obvious.

However, this big man may not often come to play in such inferior playgrounds as Devil Town, and he is not very familiar with the code words that are common among some devil actors. He may even be the first time to come to Devil Town and the first time to play at Devil Theater.

"Yuris" feels that his guess is very reasonable. The noble and powerful demons can find all kinds of fun in hell, and they will not work as hard as they do for a year, and save some money Money, just to come to Devil Town to revel and relax, eat a few people - still the worst people. Although people in Demon Town will attract demons because of dark and strong desires in their hearts, they often have dirty souls and are not tasty. Devils like to eat people with clean and clear souls. Unfortunately, according to the law of hell, devils are not allowed to sneak into the world without permission, let alone capture and devour human beings without permission, otherwise they will be thrown into the abyss of hell.

But like the high-ranking demons, you must be able to enjoy several human beings with pure and delicious souls every day! - "Yuris" has not really come into contact with the upper demons in hell, so these are just his baseless speculations.

Just as Leng Xin and Ryadov confirmed each other's human identities and secretly used stage performances to convey information to each other to discuss strategies, the demons also have their own secret words. But the "code language" between humans and demons is not fixed, otherwise it will be easily discovered by the other side and exposed, and it will be easy for the other side to learn to imitate and violate the rules of the game. These "code words" must be understood in combination with the performance environment at that time and the demeanor and actions of the person delivering the message, which means that they must first identify each other, and then carefully observe each other to discover and understand these messages and hints.

Stupid demons are ostracized by their peers; dull humans have a hard time living long in a demon town.

Yuris has been able to confirm the identity of the other party, so he expresses full recognition of the other party in physical performance - this is the same as Yuris's pitiful sudden appearance of the demon in the script, because the other party is weak and thus develops closeness and trust to the other party. It is compatible, so it is not a violation of the rules of the game, but if the other party is a player with certain experience, he will definitely understand what he means.

However, "Adeyas" did not respond for a long time. He just perfectly restored the indifferent, silent, unapproachable but tolerant look of Adeyas in the script - although Yuris felt that it was not tolerant, but just aloof. The monarch of hell doesn't care about these little things.

Therefore, for the other party's lack of response, Yuris can only understand that this is because the upper-level demon adults don't often come to the low-end demon town to play. They are not familiar with the situation here and the usual gameplay process, but they will not doubt their own judgment and the other party's. identity.

The actor who played Adeyas must be a demon, and he must be a demon, so according to common sense, there will be at least one human between Christine and old George. But those two guys played really well, and it was hard to tell which one was human for a while, Yuris thought in anguish. Contrary to human beings, devils have to pay hell coins as an entry fee to participate in the game. After getting a membership card of Devil Town, they can enjoy a 20% discount. For devils, Devil Town is like their theme park. It is a place for pure play, pure leisure and pure consumption. So of course the demons are not willing to spend money but can't eat people.

The situation in this game is a bit confusing. The human side has never been able to confirm who its "trump card" is, while the demon side can't find the human in the main character. Because Christine, old George, Yuris, and Adeyas all acted too much like demons, the demons even began to suspect that all the humans in this scene were mixed in the secondary characters, and began to pay more attention to those who did not How many roles are the dragon actors.

Leng Xin and Ryadov are both experienced and accurate in their judgment. Under their leadership and advancement, the four human beings mixed in the secondary roles have all confirmed their identities with each other: they are Christine's stepmother, City Hall officials, Kristin's human friend, and the palace messenger who brought Yuris the news of his visit to the palace. In the case that the ace played well and never contacted them, they could only first determine that Ryadov, who had only two unimportant scenes and had superb acting skills, would assume the role of the hermit, and determine the role of the hermit. Tactics - Whether or not Ace is eventually discovered, they have to make sure that Ryadov is not identified by the demons.

However, it is not uncommon for situations like today. Some very confident and powerful human actors are worried that they will be held back by other human beings in the same field, and are unwilling to cooperate with other human beings. The demons are circling. It is cold-hearted to guess that the ace they encountered today is such a player.

The last scene soon came. Under the leadership of the palace messenger, Yuris and Christine came to the palace one after another. After the palace messenger withdrew, the palace manager appeared and asked them to wait here for His Majesty’s reception—in fact, this is also the case. One of the reasons why the character of Edeas is worth 15,000 points is because in the last scene, except for the player of Edeas, the other characters are all demons, and there are no humans on the field. Can provide him with cover and cooperation.

While everyone was waiting, Edyas appeared. At this time, he has changed into a full set of demon monarch costumes with the help of the strange dressing room.

Leng Xin and Ryadov murmured in their hearts at the same time: there is no doubt, this must be a devil.

So their trump card should be between old George and Yuris.

In addition to Yuris, who concluded that Edyas was a demon early in the morning because of his contact with the play, Christine and old George also cast suspicious eyes on the other two of them at this time. They had the same thoughts in their minds: Adeyas must be a demon, or even a high-ranking demon that they can't afford to offend, so there's a good chance that a human is mixed in between Yuris/Christine/Old George.

I saw that the ruler of hell appeared on the stage in a black and solemn court dress, accompanied by the court attendants.

On his head are two strong and powerful black magic horns that show great power, and between the two ribs behind his back are bizarre and gorgeous black bone wings. , making the sun and moon dull.

The king of hell sat high on the throne with an indifferent expression, his bone wings were slightly spread, and he quietly looked down at the demon under the seat. He had a natural awe-inspiring and inviolable king demeanor all over him, like a real hell that ruled the world. Sovereign, noble, aloof, unapproachable, and evil.

In an instant, almost all the demons on the field had the urge to bow down. They almost thought that what they saw was not Edyas in "Devil's Fall", but their real ruler of hell, His Majesty Aimer, the monarch of hell.

"Devil Comes" is a more classic stage play in hell, but the designer who moved this play to the Devil's Theater in Devil's Town and assigned the role of Edeas to the human side obviously had bad taste— Humans who are isolated and helpless sit on the throne. Facing the crowd of demons, they are uneasy, but they have to act calmly; and the demons may have already discovered that there is a human on the throne, and they are respectful on the face. They are playing the show, laughing in their hearts, passing messages to each other, and figuring out how to eat the high-ranking human beings.

But this scene is destined not to happen here.

His Majesty Adeyas sat on the throne and boredly announced the marriage of Yuris and Christine. Yuris and the other three knelt down tremblingly, not even daring to let out the air, seeing the real ruler of hell The fear and anxiety even overwhelmed the joy of Yuris and Christine when they learned that they could be together smoothly.

But at that moment, Yuris felt that if there was a real prototype for the story of "Devil Comes", the reaction of the real gardener Yuris should be like this.

In the records of the history of hell, the great demon Aimer, who was born from the abyss of hell, woke up at the bottom of the abyss and spread his huge black bone wings to cross the abyss to hell. At that time, hell was in chaos. Lawrence, the devil in the north, and Tesul, the great lord in the south, wanted to fight for the dominion of hell. But Aimer, who came to hell, quickly established his own huge force in the east of hell with his own strength. His rapid rise attracted the attention of Duke Lawrence and lord Tesur, and they decided to temporarily join forces to eliminate Aimer.

However, during the confrontation, Lawrence was gradually convinced by Aimer's strength and ability. Tesur also realized that Aimer was an extremely terrifying opponent, and they also found that although Aimer was powerful, he did not annex everything. ambition and desire for power. So in the end, under the leadership and proposal of Lawrence, the three giants of hell reached a consensus to jointly rule hell, and the rules that prevailed in hell were drawn up by them through negotiation, and under normal circumstances, they were mainly responsible for managing the territories they owned before, and each other Do not interfere with each other. Hell also ushered in a period of prosperity and stability.

Such a rapid rise, occupying the eastern part of hell, the coercion and momentum of the upper demon who made the two major demon leaders avoid their sharp edges is definitely not something that ordinary demons can bear. The person who played Edyas on stage may be just a high-ranking demon who is rarely seen in Devil Town and can give him such a lot of pressure. It is conceivable that if he really faces the real hell monarch Aimer, he will definitely I couldn't even stand up, my mind was blank, and there was no thought.

Yuris, Christine and old George thanked His Majesty Adeyas for his will, and prepared to leave the venue to prepare for the wedding. At this moment, Mr. Clown, who also put on an exaggerated hell court costume, stepped onto the stage respectfully and gave a court salute to the monarch on the throne: "Your Majesty, please give me a few minutes, my The Clown Theatre has prepared several fresh lucky humans for Mr. Uris and Miss Christine as wedding gifts for the two of them. Please allow me to select and bring them up now."

Because the show had no intermission, he temporarily designed a scene for the lucky audience.

Adeyas just looked down at him without speaking. After a while, he turned his head slightly and glanced at the person who played the palace chief.

Facing that kind of gaze, the clown actually felt that his body froze.

But he knew the inside story. As one of the Demon Town staff who guided the newcomers to the island, he could recognize that Edeas on the throne was actually the human who impressed him that day, he just couldn't show it on stage. But he clearly knew that the other party was a human being, but he still wanted to show his submission involuntarily. Mr. Clown lowered his head and suppressed the unease that had arisen in his heart. He always felt as if he had overlooked something.

The palace manager was also very involved at this time, and quickly realized what His Majesty meant, stepped forward and said to the clown, "Your Majesty has agreed to your request."

Only then did the clown stand up and start the routine drawing of lucky audiences. It's just that the lottery this time is very quiet, there is no background music, and the audience is silently waiting for the result.

Mr. Clown held the white card with the lottery result that appeared out of thin air, as if he was holding a gift list, and he said in a solemn tone: "The wedding gifts we are going to give to Yuris and Christine this time are two lucky ones. Gifts, they are number 16 and number 470, congratulations to them."

A sudden announcement.

Chi Yan, who had been concentrating on watching the performance, froze instantly when she saw the ticket with the seat number and number written on it.

No. 16 was in the third row on the first floor, and was quickly taken to the backstage by a demon staff member with a pale face. Another demon appeared on the second floor, forcing the unfortunate young human to stand up.

At the same time, the demon on the throne slowly stood up from the throne, raised his hand, and his eyes were deep.

"Wait a minute." He said in a deep voice, pointing to the human being drawn on the second floor, staring at the fresh flesh and blood, squinting his eyes in fascination, dark flames burning faintly in his black eyes, he used He murmured softly, in a tone that was certain and unrejectable, "...I want him."

Following his voice and movements, Yuris and Kristin also looked at the human on the second floor at the same time - a clean soul, tender flesh, and it seemed to make people's index fingers move, no wonder it even aroused such a person. For the first time, the interest of the upper-ranking demons made him move to the point of being a dignitary.

The lucky audience was originally going to be rewarded to the demon actors who participated in the performance on the spot. The demon staff nodded, obediently obeyed the order, and directly brought Human No. 470 to the stage and dedicated it to the king here.

Chi Yan has not yet recovered from the shock and fear of being suddenly drawn, and his face is a little pale, and the fear on his face does not need to be disguised too much. He didn't know what Ye Yingzhi was going to do, but he understood that both of them were in a very dangerous situation.

So he pretended not to know the "devil" in front of him, his body trembled slightly, and he looked at him timidly, his black eyes even filled with a faint light of water.

Ye Yingzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and slowly revealed his first smile in the audience tonight. He stretched out his right hand and caressed Chi Yan's cheek, leaned slightly closer to him, and said with a low smile. : "It's so pitiful to be scared like this, poor little boy, I can't bear to eat you."

Saying so, his voice was full of unreserved joy and unrepentant desire, the joy of discovering an incomparably heartwarming and precious prey. All the demons present would not doubt that the demon Lord could not restrain himself from wanting to eat this human being.

Chi Yan's body trembled even more, but he shrank in the direction of the demon's arms. He always raised his head and looked at the demon in front of him pleadingly softly, as if begging the other party to be merciful and let go. Own.

Christine couldn't help licking her lips. This human being is so good at seducing demons that even the demons might not be able to resist falling for him again. It's a pity, looking at it like this, this big meal should not be her share.

Sure enough, the well-informed, high-ranking Demon Lord couldn't help but hug the human into his arms, bite the back of the human's neck and earlobe, put it in his mouth for a long time, and spit it out reluctantly.

Under the illumination of the stage lights, the eyes of human beings suddenly became red, and their eyes were wet. At this level, they were already bullied to the point of crying with fear.

The demon's eyes became deeper and deeper, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and directly hugged the human being in his arms and pressed it against his chest. He couldn't help but open his huge bone wings in an instant. He looked back at the other actors on the stage, revealing a faint expression. With a smile, he said softly: "You guys continue to play, I'll take my little baby back to enjoy it first... Is that okay?"

No one objected. No one dared to disagree.

Old George has already figured it out in his heart, there is one lucky audience, and there are five human beings on the stage. As long as they find all the five human beings, their nineteen demons can divide the six human beings equally, which is not bad. Anyway, probably no one dared to interfere with this high-ranking devil. It is also fair and reasonable to directly give the best part to the devil. Even if the devil wants to monopolize all the spoils, they would not dare to object. After all, hell is such a place where the weak eat the strong—the demons are clearly hierarchical and powerful. The difference is huge, ordinary demons need to win the game to cannibalize people, but higher demons don't even need a reason to kill ordinary demons, and are rarely punished for it.

After the lucky audience is drawn, the game about the audience in the theater is over; and the stage is actually a game between actors. As long as the other game participants do not object, one of the participants can of course leave the stage early.

His Majesty Adeyas hugged the human being in his arms contentedly, closed the bone wings behind him, and left the field with graceful and unhurried steps.

Yuris looked at his back with admiration—it's good to be a powerful demon, you can monopolize the best, and no one dares to object. It is conceivable that, having won such a tempting human being, this adult will definitely live a full, satisfied and enjoyable night tonight.

No one knew that the moment their Majesty Adeyas walked out of the theater, he took off all his demonic attire and returned to his human appearance. At the same time, the electronic watch on his left wrist flashed a line of numbers: "+15000".

The demons on the stage of "Devil Comes" probably could not have imagined at this time that they would be doomed to find a fifth real human being tonight. They are doomed to lose the game.

*****

Standing at the door of the Devil's Theater, Ye Yingzhi put Chi Yan on the ground, approached Ye Feng and kissed his wet and red eyes, lowered his head and smiled: "Little idiot, are you really scared to cry by your husband?"

He lowered his voice, put it in Chi Yan's ear and said, "What? Are you really afraid that I will eat you?"
